I get "hot" when being asked for an explanation why I have done this and not that. While I understand that I may have committed mistakes along the way, I still stand by what I have already said or done. I wouldn't mind acknowledging my failure, but that shouldn't be mistaken for a weakness.
I am just hardheaded.

Which reminds me of the lady who interviewed me when I was applying for my first job. She seemed to be quite satisfied with my answers that out of nowhere, she asked "what would you do if your integrity is being questioned at work?"
Uh! Fresh out of college, what do I know about integrity?!?
Trying to maintain my cool, I smiled and threw her back a question, "what do you mean by that?"
I got the job.

hahahaha... nice answer!
wow..answering a question with a question. indeed, sometimes a single question is way better than a thousand statements... more power to your work, boss! :)
i like this...really beat the hell out of the lady!
So she was the one pressed to explain integrity to you, huh? Haha.
sabi nga ni billie jean king (or was it navratilova?) 'pressure is a privilege'. wala lang. methinks it aptly describes the nature of your work.
have a great week!

wanderingcommuter, lucas, thanks po!
leslie, Abaniko, yes. hehe. She went on giving her own explanation coupled with a sample scenario...LOL
The Scud, Billie Jean King, i think.

If there's one thing that I like about my current position at work, it's the opportunity for me to make decisions.
